Go and explain, explain it againDay after day, year after year
Far too long and lost it
Must have thought I was nothing without you, boy

As
long as there's no traffic, Livermore remains a 45-minute drive from
San Francisco... less time than getting to San Jose. I'd come here for
the hearty burgers and wonderful beer selection. Even better, the patio
seating is ideal for those warm afternoons so rare here in the City. 4

It has the vibe of an Orange County office park mixed with a Speakeasy-type location. If you're in the area for wine tasting, I'd definitely stop by here for the five-for-$5 tasting. Since there were eight beers to choose from, we opted for two tasting sets. You'll start increasingly seeing their beers - and catchy windmill logo - on Bay Area menus, I promise you that. 4-1/2 stars - 16 reviews

History
Robert T. Livermore(1799-1858)
First
a mason's apprentice, then a Naval seaman, and finally a rancher. Mr.
Livermore met John Gilroy while in southern California, then settled in
the San Jose-Monterey area. He built up land ownings with his business
partner Jose Noriega. Once Alameda County formed in 1853, Mr. Livermore
served as the first supervisor of roads. Though he never lived there,
the city of Livermore is named after him.

Charity
Charity: Re-volv.
Quite simple, really. Individual donors contribute to a solar funding
pool. The pool then helps build solar energy projects at community
centers. The community centers lease the solar equipment, with the
payments reinvested into the solar funding pool.
